Just moments ago, Wang Hu and Sun Li had left that spacious and luxurious hall, and it seemed as if their presence still lingered in the air.
After that brief silence, another tall figure, like a ghost, quietly emerged from behind the curtain of another window.
The figure was draped in a long black dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.
Her sexy, long, curly hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, each strand radiating a captivating shine.
The 10cm high heels on her feet made a crisp clicking sound, as if it were her unique footsteps, echoing in the empty hall.
She gracefully took a cigarette from her handbag, lit it skillfully, and then slowly walked towards the spot where Wang Hu and Sun Li had just been kissing passionately.
As she walked, the long floor-to-ceiling curtains were slowly drawn back, revealing a puddle of water. In the dim light, the water puddle was like a mirror, reflecting everything in the hall.
She gently held the cigarette between her long, slender fingers, brought it to her lips, and took a deep drag. The smoke swirled in her mouth, and after a moment, she slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
She looked at the puddle of water, a slight smile playing on her lips, and muttered to herself, "I never knew Teacher Sun had this hobby!" Her words seemed to carry a hint of mockery, yet also seemed to conceal some other emotions.
Going back 20 minutes, Fan Xiaopang originally came to this place to hide and smoke. When she heard someone push the door open, she quickly threw her cigarette butt down. As a celebrity, she still cares a lot about her image, but she never expected to run into someone else's rendezvous here.
After parting ways with Sun Li, Wang Hu returned to the banquet hall. Huang Yuan, seeing this, immediately went up to him, asking with a gossipy look, "How did it go? Did you manage to uncover the big secret?"
Wang Hu impatiently pushed his face away and said irritably, "What nonsense!"
Huang Yuan, however, had no intention of giving up. He put his arm around Wang Hu's shoulder with a grin, looking determined to get what he wanted, and continued to press, "I saw it all just now. You two were chatting so enthusiastically. We're brothers, what can't we say!"
Wang Hu really didn't want to explain further, so he casually replied, "Didn't I say I have very high standards?"
However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing, because the Big Secret was staring at him with wide eyes and a furious expression.
Big Secret was originally preparing to continue her plan after seeing Wang Hu return. She was quite confident in her charm and didn't believe she couldn't win Wang Hu over.
So she picked up two glasses of champagne and walked towards Wang Hu with a smile. But to her surprise, as soon as she got close, she heard Wang Hu say those words that had infuriated her.
Seeing that things were not going well, Huang Yuan quickly patted Wang Hu on the shoulder and said with a grin, "Brother, I'm leaving first!" Then, as if his feet were greased, he ran away in a flash, "hehehe."
Seeing this, Wang Hu had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards the Big Secret. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Big Secret's cold and beautiful face, though expressionless, appeared even more alluring, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Wang Hu realized he hadn't mentioned her name when he said that, so he simply pretended not to understand and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so angry?"
Big Secret saw Wang Hu swallowing hard and couldn't help but feel a little smug. At the same time, he muttered to himself, "This man is really like a dog. He's aloof when you're all smiles, but he's all over you when he's being stern."
Big Secret gave a cold "humph," looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
"Who made you angry? Tell me, and I'll go and make him apologize to you!"
Seeing that Wang Hu was still pretending to be stupid, Da Mimi couldn't help but pout and point at him, saying, "Who else but you?"
"Me?" Wang Hu pointed at himself. "When did I ever make you angry! You'd better explain yourself, or we'll break up as friends!"
Big Secret was furious that Wang Hu was turning the tables on her, and her aloof expression crumbled. "Are you still playing dumb? What did you say when I was walking the runway, and what were you saying just now?"
Wang Hu nodded, feigning sudden realization. "Oh! That statement. But there's nothing wrong with what I said! If I weren't discerning, would I have become friends with you on our first meeting?"
"You... you're just making excuses!" The voice was a bit loud, and instantly many people turned their curious gazes toward them.
Wang Hu quickly pulled her aside and then coaxed her, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow to apologize, okay?"
Big Secret's expression softened considerably. "That's more like it!"
Just then, Big Secret's assistant rushed over and said anxiously, "Sister Mi, the event is about to end, you need to go upstairs and change your clothes quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Da Mimi calmly replied, "Oh!" and gracefully stood up, preparing to leave. However, just as she turned, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned back, and earnestly instructed Wang Hu, "Don't you dare stand me up today!"
Watching the retreating figure of the woman who had just disappeared into the distance, Wang Hu felt a surge of helplessness. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Silly girl, why don't you just give me a call!"
By this time, people had begun to leave, and Wang Hu was no exception. He went straight to Zhou's Jewelry's booth to pay and pick up his goods.
When he walked up to the booth, Zhou Yun greeted him with a smile, handed him an exquisite box, and said in a very polite tone, "Mr. Wang, this is the jewelry you purchased. Please accept it."
After Wang Hu took the box, Zhou Yun immediately said, "Mr. Wang, I would like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude. When would you be available?"
Wang Hu thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately beamed with joy and excitedly danced around, saying, "Then it's settled! I know a Cantonese restaurant that makes a particularly delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Let's go try it together sometime!"
On the way back, Wang Hu opened the box and looked at the jewelry inside. He pictured Sun Li wearing the same dress she wore at the banquet, with this necklace in her mind.
Just thinking about it makes him feel really excited.
In another car traveling in the same direction, Dou Dou innocently asked Sun Li, "Mom, didn't you say the clothes were from the brand? Why did you bring them back?"
Sun Li blushed, thinking again of the unequal treaties she had agreed to with Wang Hu.
Chef Huang urged her, "Your daughter is asking you a question!"
